    "This agreement with our Cypriot partner lends further weight to our strategy to further expand into the European Union," said Mr. Steven Tsambalieros, President, Second Cup International. "We are confident that a bright future lies ahead for us in the Cyprus marketplace. In particular we are excited to be entering this market with TEB, whose principals have already demonstrated their considerable skill and professionalism in the growth of other franchise systems throughout Europe."

    Speaking on behalf of TEB, Nicolas Economides said that "We, too, are excited about this new opportunity to take on the Second Cup café banner in Cyprus and we look forward to launching our new café in Nicosia."

    "This is a tremendous opportunity for Second Cup to continue to extend our brand internationally with strong regional partners like TEB. Customers in the Middle East and the USA have embraced our Second Cup Coffee café offerings and, building on that momentum, we recognized that the time was ideal to further penetrate the European market," said Jim Ragas, Vice President, International Business Development and Operations of Second Cup. "Cyprus provides an excellent demographic for our brand, with a young, affluent and well educated aspirational consumer ready to try new products and experiences."

We are fortunate to have franchise partners who share our passion for the coffee business and are fully aligned with the Second Cup vision. Our franchise partners are selected on the basis of their business acumen, passion for the coffee café business and customer service, local relationships and entrepreneurial spirit" said Tsambalieros.
